      Sweet! - rambling Heidegger-thread time (I accidentally wrote way too much stuff in response to this last night, but F it.)

      First: That's not a stupid question at all. I think "authenticity" is one of the slipperiest elements of Heidegger - it's one of the most critiqued elements too (e.g. Adorno's "Jargon of Authenticity").

      It's because being "authentic" generally means being true to oneself, which at first seems to indicate that there is some predetermined static essential self, but this is the very philosophical tradition old Heidy side-steps.

      Part is knowing that you have to take up a defined role but doing so w/the knowledge that you have chosen that role (negated others) & are responsible for the outcomes therein. This macro-sense of responsibility is not just an "I fucked up trying to do what I was supposed to do,"

      but a responsibility for taking up these ends in the first place (almost a meta-moral responsibility). Since you take it up yourself, you understand the role is not absolutely definitive of the world or of oneself (as .@doseofpercocets said, you distance yourself from roles).

      I also think "authenticity" is routinely interpreted to mean following subjective whims/fancies, which is asinine. Authenticity is closely entwined w/Heid's notion of the conscience as the self calling out to itself from its deepest reservoirs beyond the purview of "flanuery".

      The difference between this notion of the deep-self & others is that Heid's is not abstract & demarcated from the world-at-large. It's contextually-sensitive & what one is called to do is not static.

      So what differentiates Heid's authentic individual from the flanuer & how to tell a normie?: The authentic individual takes up a social role, knowing full well he could do otherwise, & is true to himself in that the self is not a demarcated ego.

      At times, he strives for things outside the bounds of normalcy, but the impetus for doing so is not hedonistic nor based on arbitrary subjective whims.

      This character is more akin to the tragic hero who takes up an impossible/monumental task than the artist who eats turds to break social convention. This is why the social-moral components of Heidy are hard to understand without a more old-school Greco-Roman aesthetic sensibility

      Ahhh I see, so this comportment towards the self entails the Greek notions of virtue, aesthetic action, etc. Not just dandyism, but how does heid guarantee that the self won't just slip into relativism and dandyism?

          And why did heid dislike the notion of the unconscious when authenticity almost resembles jungian individuation?

          As for his disdain for psychoanalysis, there may be a few reasons. I think he found the whole enterprise superfluous. Also, he found Freud (idk about Jung) to be overly reductionistic. Heid is similar to D&G in that the present psyche/experience cannot be reduced to its isolated

          approximate cause (e.g. the Wolfman is not to be equated with past psychological trauma). Also, Heid probably saw psychoanalysis as to prone to Cartesian demarcation. The psyche is cleaved away from its context (environmental, social, etc) & suspended in isolation over the world

          Even if one may say that the demarcations aren't ontological or literal, he'd probably say their division of categories are also too absolute in terms of functionality as well as too static - I really don't know the extent to which this would hit Jung though

          Oh I see, it's so clear now that like D and G he was warding off all the previous biases of western phil till that point, in western science he also found this demarcation and reification of human civilization above the space of nature (ALA agamben's work on heid)

          Ye son. Heid is more extreme about it but that's what makes D&G interesting tho. Instead of out-righting casting social/scientific/psychological preasuppositions or reifications to the wind (á la Heid), they pick them up as tools for occasional use.

          I think determining whether or not one succumbs to dandyism rather than an authentic transfiguration of character is not so easily done from the outside. There are probably conspicuous signs that would indicate inauthenticity:e.g. general egoism, utilitarian/means-to-end thinking

          A litmus test for "genuine" authenticity is this [internal (bad word tho)] feeling of alienness or uncanniness. It's this extra-ordinary sensation of being tugged out of the isolated ego & the utilitarian thinking inculcated therein

          Ye! but he also critiqued eastern mysticism from a stylistic standpoint in that they over-emphasize the centrality of self. He took the charge of philosophical anthropology seriously & thats why his later works decenter the human to an extent & focus on "things" & their relations

          Basically without the constant reminder of radical contextualization, Heid thought that the bifurcated utilitarian frame of mind would creep back into any project that easily lends itself to subjectivist interpretation.

          He's kind of right I hate to say it, look at how zen was taken up by the corporatocracy as a self help tool for alienated worker bees.
